    Generating a unique list of entries but removing some entries.

    can i modify the formula below to return all entries that do not contain "New Starter" and "Leaver"?

    =IFERROR(INDEX(Employee, MATCH(0,INDEX(COUNTIF(B1:$B$1, Employee)+(COUNTIF(Employee, Employee)<>1),0,0), 0))," ")

    where employee is a named range defined as

    =OFFSET('Staff Details'!$A$3,0,0,COUNTA('Staff Details'!$A:$A)-2)

    attached:
    Column A is the original Data column B how I would like it look ideally however I would like to use whatever formula produces the results in column b to be used as a data validation drop down list.

    The file you posted does not fit with your description in your original posting: no references to "New Starter" and "Leaver".

    I can't find a way to exclude those values (which doesn't mean it cannot be done!): if those are the only two, I would do it manually!

    Maybe one of the gurus will respond with an answer.

    Re: Generating a unique list of entries but removing some entries.

    if this was to be used by just me I would do exactly that John but the target end user isn't as erm... "Capable" so the more routes for error I can remove the better.

    thank you for your response however.
